Higher Education—Goal Setting to Performance

Higher education HR leaders must make employee career development a priority while supporting the institution’s short- and long-term business goals. With Oracle Modern Best Practice, you can leverage mobile, social, analytics, big data, and the cloud to easily define an official and tangible performance process that tracks measurable faculty and staff performance goals. Ensure that employee goals align with institution and department-level business objectives, such as improving student retention rates, student recruiting outcomes, and degree program expansions. Use private, secure, social collaboration to draft, review, and finalize individual career goals and update talent profiles when goals are met, such as research project status or competency rating changes. Use insight-driven data to easily identify and track faculty members who are aspiring to achieve tenure and proactively address faculty turnover by identifying scholars who may be at risk of leaving.

Align Goals and Business Objectives

Define and align employee goals to institution objectives, such as new degree or specialty programs, research projects, increased enrollment, and satellite campus expansions. Review goal progress with dashboards.

Draft Objectives

Faculty and staff review career goals in talent profile. Employee shares with manager the first draft of objectives for achieving set goals, such as meeting tenure track criteria, improving student satisfaction and retention, and leading research projects.

Improve Goal Attainment with Social

Increase the likelihood of employee success by enabling them to use secure, embedded social tools for an ongoing conversation on goals, such as professional designations, committee participation, and (re)certification.

Employee Self-Evaluation

Faculty and staff conduct self-evaluation to measure performance on goals and competencies. Update talent profile with competency and career goal changes, such as completing a doctoral degree to achieve tenure status.
